Triple Stamping

by Joan Ervin

Stamp over several layers to create a dimensional image.

Supplies

  • White cardstock
  • Black cardstock
  • Paper trimmer
  • Stamp or stamps large enough to cover a 4 " area
  • Two sided tape
  • Adhesive or glue
  • Foam dots
  • Coloring medium

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Cut white cardstock into one 2", one 3" and one 4" square.

  2. Step 2

    Cut black card stock for matting into one 4 1/8" square, one 3 1/8" square and one 2 1/8" square.

  3. Step 3

    Stack the layers smallest on top...once you have them lined up the way you want, lightly tape the layers in place using a small piece of double sided so the layers stay in place when you stamp over them.

  4. Step 4

    Stack the layers in the center or be creative and stack them along the side.

  5. Step 5

    Stamp your image over all three layer at the same time.

  6. Step 6

    You will have gaps around the second and third layers, however, when you add the matting layers, the gaps will disappear.

  7. Step 7

    Color image before you adhere layers

  8. Step 8

    Adhere layers....use foam dots to adhere the top layer to add a little dimension.

  9. Step 9

    Add embellishments and adhere layers to card base.

  10. Step 10

    Finish your card.

Great card - please tell me the name of the tool you used to sponge the stamp. Thank you.
Anne  |  Wed Jan 23, 2013 at 7:39 AM
Anne, I use the Blending tool from Ranger in combination with their craft mat underneath. It makes sponging very easy. I have one for each color group and some just for my favorite inks. You can see how I store them on my Craft Room page on my blog.
